What do you do when the life you thought you were building suddenly looks completely different? In this episode of Miracles in the Madness , Ashton sits down with Deborah Joyce, a certified divorce recovery coach and founder of Hope and Healing After Divorce, to talk about what it looks like to trust God when life doesn’t go according to plan. After 23 years of marriage, Deborah found herself walking through an unexpected divorce—and facing fear, loneliness, heartbreak, and a whole lot of uncertainty. But what could have been the end of her story became a place where God began doing a new work in her. Deborah shares honestly about how God used Scripture, community, the Holy Spirit, and a renewed mindset to lead her from heartbreak into healing, confidence, hope, and purpose. And while this conversation is rooted in divorce and a very specific kind of heartbreak, the lessons reach far beyond divorce. Because all of us will walk through seasons we didn't choose. Seasons where we wonder what God is doing, who we are now, and whether the future can really be good again. In this conversation, you'll hear: How Deborah learned to trust God when her life took an unexpected turn Why community matters so much when we're walking through hard seasons How changing the way we think can change the way we walk through adversity What it looks like to rediscover your identity and confidence in Christ If you're currently walking through a difficult season—or you've ever wondered if God can bring something beautiful out of something painful—I think this conversation will encourage you. Your hard season isn't the end of your story. God is still working. He is still present. And He is still writing your story. Listen to Miracles in the Madness wherever you get your podcasts, and share this episode with a woman who needs the reminder that there is hope on the other side of heartbreak.
